Please take great notice in this part : In its first year, Sony sold 5 million PS3 units compared to Nintendo's 9.3 million Wii units for the same period. By comparison, Microsoft has has sold 11.6 million Xbox 360 consoles in two years.

What the hell is this? Somehow only PS3 sales haven't been hurt too much while the xbox suffered a 2 million plus downgrade and the Wii more than 4! And despite all the recent publicity that has gone around Wii and xbox sales. And for the record, GP isn't talking about 2007 sales, it's talking about LTD sales! I am outraged by this, gamepro has been pretty mean to Nintendo, same with xbox, in the past, but this? Yes i am an outraged fanboy.Take it or leave it.


No one knows exactly what's been sold. VGChartz is definitly off on their numbers as they'll freely admitt. MS mentioned that they had shipped about 11 million units about the time when VGChartz claimed MS had sold 11 million. Thus 9 seems realistic. In regard to the PS3, these numbers have been driven by fanboys on both sides. 360 folks trying to make the number lower and PS3 fanboys trying to make it higher.
